After 3 years of wheel shopping... et fin

Not sure if anyone has seen this months BMW Performance magazine, but interestingly there's a violet e92 M3 on there with 18inch BBS FI (real ones) in anthracite/gunmetal, this bodes well because the BBS FI are quite common on the e92 forums but most wear them in 19/20, but IMO they still look cool in the smaller size :)

Another part of the preparation - received bbs centre caps - need to apply the bbs badge part to the centre caps that came with the wheels, unfortunately not perfect size, will have about 2mm edge :(

However, will persevere and see what can be done.

Any suggestions for adhesive to use? Was thinking about black plumbing silicon?

 
Can I ask where you got the rims from?

I am looking for some black rims for my 03 E85 Z4 and i live in Perth Australia.

Could you please point me in the right direction. Thanks
 
I actually looked into these wheels too... But wanted one more set of spokes so went for the 710's

Will look stunning, and as the spokes go to the rim will make them appear bigger then 18's - if that makes sense.

i wanna see the, fitted! when?...

Not for a while yet... wheels was supposed to go for paint this month, but just had to replace all discs and pads on my daily driver Type-r EP3 :(
...first set of discs in 112K miles isn't too bad though.

Timing might not be too bad... hopefully the UK will have some PSS in size 255/40/18 by December, fingers crossed :)
 
... so was at the local wheel specialist today to check out the finishes and colours in the flesh. Was going to go for light gunmetal, but have decided on Black Chrome.

It definitely grey, but not as dark as light gunmetal in the light, and has a nice gloss which helps them pop without the bling, especially since it's going on a black car, sample finish:

Wheels back from paint, TWS have done a cracking job, just what I was after.
Pics don't do the colour finish justice, they look titanium grey in the light, and gunmetal in the dark.

The BBS centre stickers look good, but have got some stuff to try making some custom graphics for the centres... more to follow.

Centre caps sorted... have always wanted a set of wheels with BBS stamps on them, but also got a set of 62mm bmw caps, the blue in the bmw just sets them off...I think that's what will go on them...
